Trouble Getting Internet in Coffee Houses

In US I have Verizon WWAN but I'm out of the country and I'm having trouble
seeing the Internet sometimes when I try to connect with the wireless with
no security. Generally a re-boot fixes the problem.

I meant to add that since a re-boot fixes the problem, what can I do in
order to reset the adapter as if I had done a re-boot? What is the re-boot
doing that I can manually do? TIA

ipconf /release
ipconf /renew

These commands should make the wireless reset the connection to a
router. If you are already disconnected then you don't need # 1.

Hi
If the power saving of the Wireless card is checked to save, Uncheck it.
I.e. get the network components out of the Power saving loop.
